“…In the Tigris/Ilısu Valley, Hirbemerdon and Kenan Tepe were abandoned, and Late Bronze occupation is found only on Ziyaret Tepe's high mound and the fortress at Türbe Höyük. A similar break occurred in the Urfa and Gaziantep areas at Zeytinli Bahçe and Tilbeshar, whose countryside was also depleted (Kepinski-Lecomte et al 1996;Matney et al 2002;Yildirim and Gates 2007:300-3). Survey in the vicinity of Arslantepe confirmed a gap in settlements of any size after MB II; so did previous evidence to the south from Titriş Höyük, Kurban Höyük, and Harran, where habitation was thin, if at all present, throughout the second millennium B.C.E.…”

The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Anatolia is a unique blend of comprehensive overviews on archaeological, philological, linguistic, and historical issues at the forefront of Anatolian scholarship in the twenty-first century. Anatolia is home to early complex societies and great empires, and was the destination of many migrants, visitors, and invaders. The offerings in this book bring this reality to life, as the articles unfold nearly 10,000 years (ca. 10,000–323 BCE) of peoples, languages, and diverse cultures who lived in or traversed Anatolia over these millennia. They combine descriptions of current scholarship on important discussion and debates in Anatolian studies with new and cutting-edge research for future directions of study. The fifty-four articles are presented in five separate parts that range in topic from chronological and geographical overviews to anthropologically based issues of culture contact and imperial structures, and from historical settings of entire millennia to crucial data from key sites across the region.

This second article on ancient roads around Zeugma deals mainly with navigation along the river itself and north-south routes on both banks of the Euphrates. Like its predecessor (Comfort et al 2000), this one is based on extensive survey work in the years 1996 to 1999 during the excavations carried out at Zeugma by a Franco-Turkish mission. It discusses sites located in the region surrounding the ancient city on both east and west banks of the river Euphrates and seeks to identify the principal roads of the region used in antiquity. Maps to complement those prepared for the preceding article are included.In Comfort et al 2000, ancient crossing points of the river Euphrates in southern Turkey were discussed in the light of survey work conducted with the help of satellite photos in and around the reservoir created by the Birecik dam. This dam was completed in summer 2000. The lake created behind the Birecik dam stretches north about 100km as far as the Atatürk dam, for the most part constrained in a narrow gorge; a second lake now also reaches for about 20km south from Birecik to the Carchemish dam, itself approximately 6km north of the Syrian border. The survey was conducted over six visits between 1996 and 1999. Given the shortage of resources and the vast area covered (about 2,500km) it can only be considered a preliminary investigation and was indeed originally undertaken with a view only to proving the usefulness of satellite photographs as an aid to archaeological survey work.
